Hello I have a Thomas Allen married to a Ms Wiggins and 2 children listed Thomas Allen Jr and Henry Humphries Allen married to Ellen Beatty in 1870 in Nepean, Ontario. Being Irish Beatty I can only assume that the Allens were as well as the Irish tended to stick together in Canada. Henry Humphries was born in 1844 and died in 1936 in Canada. No listing as to where he or Thomas Allen Sr were born. Ellen Beatty was the daughter of Thomas Beatty and Elizabeth Graham. Thomas Beatty was the son of Daniel Beatty and Jane Smith of Co. Wicklow Ireland. Elizabeth was the daughter of John Graham and Mary Argue both of Co. Cavan Ireland. Any connections?

It's been several years since I've been in contact with most of the family - though as part of my recent research I have been back in touch with Tom Allen's niece in Melbourne, but she is not on email. Tom Allen's mother was Frances Hanbidge (1865-1932) and his sister was Elizabeth Eleanor Mabel Allen who married John Lighton Synge, the physicist, and her family is well documented. One of her daughters is Cathleen Morawetz, a well-renowned mathematician in the US. Tom & his brother Ivan's army service records are in the UK National Archives in Kew and I don't think there's anything to research with respect to the Army in Ireland - and Tom ended his days in England in 1959. I think the family was Protestant - though whether the Coates family was too, I don't know. Thanks for getting in touch - and I look forward to hearing more! -- Cheers Andrew www.groupphoto.co.uk<http://www.groupphoto.co.uk/> ----- Original Message -----
